I was reading an article about Al DiMeola's covering another Beatles tune. He did one at the Winery some months back. I had fond memories of Frank Sinatra doing a beautiful version of Something back @the Meadowlands Arena in '87(?). I've heard some winners and experienced some losers and a quite a few in between. I wonder if there's a band more covered?

The sincerest form of flattery is playing ones tunes, then here's a couple recent tributes...

Al DiMeola - She's Leaving Home (I think the solo part has dribbles of a few tunes? Is it just noodlin', but I hear There's A Place For Us, when the others join in it's She's Leaving)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqgYf6-giiA

Shoot, am always knotting up the threads, on topic tho Sam Phillipsí take of Gimme Some Truth, from her early 1990s CD - tremendous & the Beatles cover I think of 1st & 4most even tho itís John

Of course heís well known for Help from my Friends but I also like Joe Cockerís take of SCITTBWindow

It was sorta scoffed at at the time but I like Eltonís cover of LITSWDiamonds

Good one Brer, hadnít heard that before - of course Greggís take of Rain w/the London choir comes to mind in the same vein

Itís not just knotting up threads, can be a wet blanket too - but one that does sorta underwhelm me is JBís Sheís A Woman, from Blow by Blow - tried to like it but even w/the talk box effect etc, didnít really hold my interest

The Persuasions gave Let It Be their acapella love on one of their early 1970s albums

Also Arthur Conley w/ObLaDi ObLaDa - Duane plays lead & rhythm

Love seeing the Deep Purple threads, just listened to Throw My Bones
Their cover of Help is really how a song w/lyrics like that should sound - Jon Lord, what a monster player he was

I'm a buffoon, I was going thru videos and was amazed how many times the Stones were covered by others. I also DVR'd and was watching the Chuck Berry special called Brown Eyed Handsome Man that is making the rounds on the PBS stations, It's way better than Hail Hail Rock N Roll. Great footage of Chuck and multi legend covering his tunes, I really enjoyed watching it this morning. They actually rival the Beatles in amount of "coverage" they get.

I knew Ruby Tuesday was the RS, but was in auto-pilot mode and typed it out and copy & pasted the video link. I'm slipping, it's a good thing I retired 2 months ago. 33 1/2 years at my last job, I'm ready (maybe not?) for the next stage of my life. I'll edit it out. Thanx
